John Prine - Angel From Montgomery lyrics

I am an old woman named after my mother My old man is another child that's grown old If dreams were lightning thunder was desire This old house would have burnt down a long time ago Chorus: Make me an angel that flies from montgom'ry Make me a poster of an old rodeo Just give me one thing that i can hold on to To believe in this living is just a hard way to go When i was a young girl well, i had me a cowboy He weren't much to look at, just free rambling man But that was a long time and no matter how i try The years just flow by like a broken down dam. Repeat chorus: There's flies in the kitchen i can hear 'em there buzzing And i ain't done nothing since i woke up today. How the hell can a person go to work in the morning And come home in the evening and have nothing to say. Repeat chorus:
